This promo was only issued in 1969 for DJ's and record stores. There were probably less than 5000 of these pressed. "Tommy" went on to sell millions of copies and stayed in print for 30 years. This is one of the most important albums in the history of rock n roll.

"Tommy" was the first important rock opera. It had the huge hit songs : 'Pinball' Wizard', 'I'm Free', and 'We're Not Gonna Take It'. Plus many other FM radio air play songs like : 'It's A Boy', Eyesight To The Blind', 'Christmas', 'The Acid Queen', 'Tommy Can You Here Me', and 'Underture'. This album is good from beginning to end, so play all four sides in order. It comes with the original lyric and picture booklet.

About Me :

I started collecting records in 1966. I started selling in Goldmine in 1985. I now sell records at all Northwest record conventions : Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Eugene, Grants Pass, and Canby. And at Crossroads Music in Portland, Oregon. My records are from a no smoking and no pets home.

Packaging :

I take great care on every package and I do each one personally. I will package this record between two pieces of hand cut cardboard. One sheet is 5/8 inch thick triple strength industrial cardboard. The other sheet is 1/4 inch double strength cardboard. Together they are very strong and unbendable. ( Even the postmen comment on how strong this cardboard is ! ) I always remove the record from the cover and seal them in a clear plastic album sleeve. The package will be marked in red : "Fragile Record" on both sides.

Postage : Weight : 1 pound 14 ounces

You have to pay for the postage. I pre-weigh every record, so that you pay the exact amount the post office changes. There are no handling charges. This record will weigh 30 ounces ( 1 pound, 14 ounces ) when ready to ship. US bidders can figure out your own postage costs for US Priority or Media Mail. All US winners will get shipping through Paypal and a email with the tracking number. Overseas bidders must use First Class Mail International. I will let you know the date I mailed your record and the US customs number. ( Buyers from Italy must assume all risks for shipping to their country. ) I will send your record as soon as you pay ( same day if before 2 PM and next day if after 2 PM : Monday thru Saturday) I will combine shipping if you win more than one record. Please wait for me to send you an invoice for all of your records in one package.

Serious Bidders Only :

Serious bidders only. If you bid you must be prepared to honor your bid. I expect payment within three days, but will gladly wait up to seven days, if you contact me. I no longer accept bids from buyers with more than two strikes against them.
